SaskPower says its Carbon Capture and Storage facility near Estevan has captured more than three million tonnes of carbon dioxide. It’s the equivalent of taking 750 thousand vehicles off the road. In 2014 the Boundary Dam Power Station became the first power station in the world to successfully use CCS technology. SaskPower has committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by at least 40 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030. The company says it will achieve the target through the increased use of renewable energy, as well as moving to lower carbon forms of fuel such as natural gas and using the carbon capture technology.
